Last round scorpion swamp was eliminated. Some tough choices here!

All classics but Citadel has the least beef to it. The writing is very terse and the successful path is very short (especially if you skip the basement level). And much as I love all the wacky denizens, where the heck is Balthus hiding this supposed army? Maybe it's like Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

Agree these are all classics. I had to go with City of Thieves though. The random ingredients guessing really mars the end I think. What a terrible design decision.

Citadel (my introduction to FF), Deathtrap (the quintessential title), and House (the scariest one by far) are among my all-time favourite titles. Love City, but it's the weakest here, and I don't think I'll be able to vote for the other three in the next round...
When are we voting on books 41 onwards, btw?

I was thinking of getting 1-40 done and dusted then doing 41 onwards. I'll have to put Sorcery! in there somewhere as well. For my vote, I'm just going to have to vote deathtrap over city of thieves, but purely from nostalgia. I still remember getting city of thieves out of the school library and reading it on my way home. This was in the 80s by the way, I'm not talking about two years ago. So my younger self isn't allowing me to vote of city of thieves.

City of thieves with its moon dogs and its silly and random items.

Unrelated vagsancheries moved to their own thread. Despite its being the point at which 'any player, no matter how weak...' starts to become a lie, City gave us Port Blacksand, so I can't vote it out.

Oh the agony of voting for my first love. O Citadel of Chaos, if only you had rewarded stealthiness in the courtyard. Alas it was not to be.
